- Gentlemen:
Do not place your arm on the back of a chair occupied by a woman.
During a walk in the country, climbing a hill or walking along a stream, if the lady is tired and sits upon the ground, do not seat yourself next to her. Remain standing until she is rested.
"A gentlemen never swaggers along the street, shouting or laughing with his companions, his hat on one side, a cigar between his fingers, or switching a cane to the danger or discomfort of passers-by."
If he's smoking and a lady passes by, he removes the cigar from his mouth.
When escorting a woman in the daytime, he does not offer her his arm unless she is old or ill unless for the purpose of protecting her in a large croud.
He should not monopolize the umbrella when with two ladies in the rain. He should take the outside, holding it both over them.
If attending a lady in the evening he should offer his arm. If he has the care of two ladies, he should give his arm to one and the ladies should walk on the same side of him.
When entering a room with ladies, he removes his hat. When he meets a lady friend, he should raise his hat gracefully.
A gentleman holds the door open for a lady. He precedes the lady in ascending the stairs and allows her to precede in descending them.
"When a gentleman meets a lady friend with whom he wishes to converse, he does not make her stand on the street, but walks with her a short distance until he has said what he desired to, and then leaves her with a courteous bow."
When on the street, the gentleman should always carry the packages....and the husband should always carry the baby.
He should never smoke where ladies are present under any circumstances.
DO not shake a ladies hand in a manner that would annoy her or hurt her fingers.
Accompany your wife to the church of her choice.
